Penn College Baseball Team Seeks Return to Top

Penn College baseball coach Chris Howard knows his team has its work cut out when it opens Penn State University Athletic Conference championship playoff action Thursday. The second-seeded Wildcats (23-10 overall and 14-4 in the conference) face third-seeded Penn State Greater Allegheny (27-13, 14-4) at 1:30 p.m. at Pullman Park in Butler. “Every year, the conference gets tougher. The quality of play from top to bottom gets better and this is no different. We’ve got four quality teams in this tournament and we’re definitely going to have to play at our very best to win the thing,” he said.
